Amidst Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Absence, “The King” Ronnie Coleman Shows Up to Cheer Arnold Classic Fans Despite Battling Health Issues

Ronnie Coleman is always present whenever his fans need him for some extra support and morale. Although this king formally left the bodybuilding circuit back in 2007, it is clear his passion for the sport is high. He has braved multiple screws, bolts, and rods that have been put into his frame. He has also dealt with and braved a massive back injury. And yet, Ronnie’s love for working out remains intact.

While the main patron and namesake of the competition, Arnold Schwarzenegger, skipped attending, somebody else did. And it was none other than “the king” Ronnie Coleman. He motivated the participants and obliged fan requests. Later, he even posted a picture of that event a day later.

Ronnie’s untouchable win streak

Coleman is, in many ways, Arnold’s best successor. Ronnie had a stable job and initially did not even think he would ever swerve lanes to get into professional bodybuilding. But, as a lifelong lover of lifting heavy, he couldn’t help but fall in love with the process. Coleman, with fellow legend Lee Haney, are the only two bodybuilders in the world to have achieved 8x Mr. Olympia titles. He was also pound-for-pound, one of the strongest bodybuilders of his time.

Fans in and out of the bodybuilding world respect Ronnie for his hard work and never say die spirit. And it is these things that the fans adore.
